25 Pela meia-noite, Paulo e Silas rezavam e cantavam um hino a Deus, e os prisioneiros os escutavam.
26 Subitamente, sentiu-se um terremoto tão grande que se abalaram até os fundamentos do cárcere. Abriram-se logo todas as portas e soltaram-se as algemas de todos.
27 Acordou o carcereiro e, vendo abertas as portas do cárcere, supôs que os presos haviam fugido. Tirou da espada e queria matar-se.
28 Mas Paulo bradou em alta voz: Não te faças nenhum mal, pois estamos todos aqui.
29 Então o carcereiro pediu luz, entrou e lançou-se trêmulo aos pés de Paulo e Silas.
30 Depois os conduziu para fora e perguntou-lhes: Senhores, que devo fazer para me salvar?
31 Disseram-lhe: Crê no Senhor Jesus e serás salvo, tu e tua família.
32 Anunciaram-lhe a palavra de Deus, a ele e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.
33 Então, naquela mesma hora da noite, ele cuidou deles e lavou-lhes as chagas. Imediatamente foi batizado, ele e toda a sua família.
34 Em seguida, ele os fez subir para sua casa, pôs-lhes a mesa e alegrou-se com toda a sua casa por haver crido em Deus.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. 34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
